Here are some photos of the girls' double birthday a couple weeks ago. Both sets of grandparents came down for the big party as well as Eric, Christi and Tim (uncles and aunt). Elsie wanted a Cookie Monster cake and Grace wanted an ice cream cake (see post below for video on ice cream cones). My mom made the Cookie Monster cake above (way to go Mom!) and I made the ice cream cone cakes (with help from family). If there is one thing I learned from the ice cream cone thing it's that I did NOT get my mom's talent for decorating with frosting. As I was attempting to decorate the cake cones I was having very strong negative feelings toward the lady in the video. They have got to have some special effects going on in that video because it was NOT as easy as it looked! The cupcake would fall apart as you tried to spread the frosting on. I think more cake and frosting ended up in my tummy than on the cone :) We did find out, however, that both Christi and Eric are quite talented at ice cream cone cake decorating (I'm sure this talent will come in handy quite often in their lives)!

I'll fully agree with you about the frosting of the cupcake cones. I tried them for Ty's birthday last year and thought it was just my lack of Martha Stewart-ness. Thanks for motivating me to get back to my blog...stay tuned :)
Cute post - What a bizarre world, though. You mentioned how similar in age our kids are (mine are 6,5,3, and almost 1), but you won't believe our youngest daughter's name is Elsa Grace (I have nicknamed her "Elsie")!
